Alert the media: in any large group of people consuming alcoholic beverages, some will be belligerent and vulgar. And some will be decent and kind. And some will be either, depending upon how they're approached and who's asking. I'm kinda thinking Bucky is accurately describing his personal experience with Buffalo Bills-type fans, and it might be a case of "find what you bring" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Didn't have to say it , but that kind of is the reputation around the league. With who? The press? I've talked to football fans all over the country. The vast majority of those who have been to the Ralph, said they LOVED the tailgate, fans and gameday experience. Most of those who hadn't been, said they heard it's just a crazy atmosphere (and they meant that in a good way). I'm not saying there haven't been some unfortunate instances, of course there have. But I believe most people who go to an NFL football game prefer a raucous fanbase (and a bit of tailgate drinking), to a bland, sterile experience.

RyanC883 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Didn't have to say it , but that kind of is the reputation around the league. no it's not. It's really only Buffalo people that think it is. Clearly this idiot Gleason has never attended a Pittsburgh v. Ravens or Browns game, or any big college rivalry games. Tonight's USC v. Stanford game, "bullsh*t" after a call against USC was clearly heard on TV. The "were such vulgar, drunk, terrible fan" segment of Bills fans need to knock it off. They are likely the same people always yelling "down in front." With who? The press? I've talked to football fans all over the country.

RochesterLifer Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 When I first read the article, I was stunned at the arrogant obnoxiousness of Gleason's quote. Gleason exposed himself as a small-town, small-minded writer. In his chance to talk to a big-boy paper, he got drunk with giddiness and shot his mouth off. He, in effect, made a fool of himself when he finally got to take a pretty girl to the dance. He also revealed his insecurities, because he is of Buffalo and cannot avoid trashing his own. Unfortunately, we're stuck with this little man, because no market of sophistication would be interested in him. Shame on the Buffalo News for not demanding more thoughtful writers.
